Corned Beef Twice Baked PotatoesF

As promised, here is the recipe for the corned beef twice baked potatoes. We had left over corned beef and what better way to use it than in a twice baked potato? You could easily make these into reuben baked potatoes by adding some saurkraut to the filling. This is a great recipe to make in steps. Bake the potatoes in the morning, then make the filling throughout the day and finally bake the prepared potato boats in the evening, or even the next day. We would not recommend making these all in one night because it would take FOREVER. Just baking the potatoes alone takes a long time, so it is a multi- hour process. However, if you do it in pieces, it ends up working out quite well. We baked the potatoes in the morning, then let them cool down until the afternoon and started the filling around 3 in the afternoon. Then, the boats were all assembled and all that's left is sticking them into the oven for the final baking. This is not a recipe you want to start at 7 PM when you're starving.
These are truly delicious and pack lots of flavor in each little potato boat!

Ready to eat!

What Kaspian thought about it:

He really liked the potato shell and dipping it into sour cream, but did not like the twice baked potato mixture...Yeah, he's weird.
